Having problems with your Toshiba Satellite A135-S4666 Notebook ?

Laptop will not power up with either ac power or battery

Answers :

The power jack has most likely become unsoldered from the main board. If you can GET to it, you resolder it, then lay a bead of epoxy around the back and sides of the jack to keep it from happening again. Getting to it is the problem. Places online advertise repairs for about $100. I don't know if they add epoxy, though. Bad for return business.
